Thanks all. Were going into fall here in Chicago, so hopefully I'll soon be posting some birdies with pretty bacgrounds. It's nice to have an outlet to post images. When I show people bird pics on my iPhone, they just look at me like I'm some kind of weirdo. Not doing much good for my reputation.

I know what you mean, Roy.

But thats pretty harsh of them to look at you strangely. I guess they dont appreciate nature enough - they either ignore or take for granted. If I wasnt interested in something, I would appreciate the fact that you do and be supportive. And generally I think, or hope, most people are like that too.

I've shown bird and flower shots, but I got a better reaction when showing things like the moon or city at night shots.
